I AM SO READY!!!! I even updated my packing list and since I am only carrying hand luggage, even got all the miniature versions of liquids I am allowed to take with me. So that's ready to go as well. Am I excited? I am excited!!!! Are you??? this time i'm not even letting myself get as excited as previous times, but... <me on the inside <me on the outside I've been updating my packing list all along, i've made google documents with a long list of what i still need to do & when, lists of what i'm gonna wear when and how much this all is likely gonna cost and my schedule plans and ideas for places to eat, i've plotted directions for everywhere i might need go, studied airport maps and rules, downloaded a bunch of transit apps, test packed all my bags, and still i feel completely unprepared. i just need to relax, take it easy... oh geez thanks Mika, now i've gotta plan for ending up on a broken train alone I can't imagine trying to do all this AND dealing with getting ESTAs and pre-flight covid tests and jetlag and travel insurance and all that. Good luck to you all! I can't wait to meet everybody Edited March 18, 2022 by kreacher 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 On the plus side, I've sorted my trains now. It was easy - I left them intact and changed the test slot instead. I think I was panicking before, there's plenty of time to do the test, get the result and do the pre-flight bits and bobs. Even time to do a 2nd test if needed. Also means I'm not paying an extra £100 for the different train tickets! On the minus side, I just checked a long range weather forecast for Boston. 1st April - heavy rain. 2nd April - cloudy, showers. I'm shopping for a new rain jacket tomorrow (and hoping they've got it wrong ). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a little earlier, 8.20am, gets into Boston 9.50am. I figured I could have the day to look around.

I grew up in Amsterdam and I never looked at the weather forecast because it was never correct anyway! Either way, we will be together and we will have fun. We will be our own little sunshines ☀️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
